Re: Commentary for small schools?

Right, I get that. I'm just wondering if, 8-10 years out in Dynasty, I've turned Prairie View into a Top 25 team and have a matchup against another ranked lower-conference team, will that get commentary then?

I've just been playing Play Now games so far but does anyone know if the Prairie View-Idaho matchup in the tourney will have commentary? Seems like if they can get it in for that, they oughta be able to have it for any Play Now game, too. If they don't then that's not very realistic since EVERY tournament game is televised.

Its possible, but not all top 25 teams get TV time when they play lower tier schools

Right...but I'm specifically asking if two lower-tier schools are both in the top 25. You would think that a game like that would at least appear on ESPN U or something. I'm by no means a college basketball guru but I would certainly assume that a match-up of two ranked teams would appear SOMEWHERE on TV...

If they were in the top 25 would they really be considered lower tier anymore?

He's asking if taking a smaller school and moving them up to being ranked would improve their chances of having commentary, or if each school has a static chance of being televised which does not change.

If two teams, previously small, have grown to be ranked, will there be commentary?

Re: Commentary for small schools?

I had a few games last night in my dynasty with SMU they had no commentary. It just brings a little more realism to the game because who is going to watch the small schools play. I did play Tulsa in conference game and it had commentary because they were ranked 11 I beleive.

It's the same way in NCAA Football too.

EA is known for this it's been like this for years. They also do it in NCAA Football as well.
